Following tender evaluation, dual supply was awarded in response to an Open Procedure tender. LSL considers that Martin Magnusson (Hestra) and OK Hungarian Gloves KV as the awarded Commodity Suppliers, that can satisfy the additional goods consisting of the repetition of the same goods entrusted to the economic operator, following award 2026/S 000-020976.
LSL considers Martin Magnusson (Hestra) and OK Hungarian Gloves KV to be the suppliers capable of delivering the specified Extreme Cold Weather Gloves in line with all technical requirements, in the timescale required by the Authority.

The framework was awarded in February 2025 for a duration of 4 years. This VTN equates to an additional value of £3,600,000.00 each. The VTN equates to an additional value of £7,200,000.00 across the dual supply agreements.
